Here’s how it works:During Ignite Charlotte, presenters will share their personal and professional passions using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total talk time of 5 minutes. Talks ranging from Where Ideas Come From to How To Talk About Sex Without Breaking A Sweat are thought up by those of you in the community who have the guts to get on stage to enlighten us with your creativity. It’s never too early to start thinking about your talk. Talk submission rules will be posted soon for Ignite Charlotte 2. Admission to Ignite Charlotte is FREE with a ticket! Stay tuned for more details on how to RSVP!Videos from Ignite Charlotte 1 can be found in our gallery and Global talks can be viewed here: Ignite VideosWho made this up anyway?Brady Forrest, Technology Evangelist for O’Reilly Media, and Bre Pettis of Makerbot.com, formerly of MAKE Magazine, started Ignite in Seattle, WA circa 2006. Partially inspired by Pecha Kucha Nights, Ignite evolved into not only talks, but also Ignite contests that provided a great warm-up. People would actually make things together before the talks as a way to break the ice.Well, it’s been nearly five years now and Ignite has become an “international phenomenon” with gatherings in over 100 cities worldwide: Paris, France; Sydney, Australia; Portland, OR; New York, NY; New Orleans, LA; Raleigh, NC; and now Charlotte, NC. You can join in the fun as an Igniter, Submitter/Speaker, Sponsor or an RSVPer otherwise known as an Ignite Attendee. Oh yah, Media? Bring it!
